how old is this watch??

Why and how dive watches come standard on a leather strap is beyond me. I don't care that it's treated to be water resistant. Leather and water just don't match. And Omega bracelets, especially the clasps, aren't for me. That said, in 2018 i purchased the Planet Ocean 43.5mm in blue from an Omega Boutique with that exact same rubber strap (on RHS at 0:17), replacing the blue alligator which stayed in the box. First time I've seen another one anywhere and thought they discontinued the strap as it's not on any Omega website (your link goes to some Russian site). it's the best strap for that watch! I stupidly ended up selling the watch a couple of years later after acquiring two rolexes. Missing it though and about to buy the new release in grey.

One of each please

Too bad they are quick release. These are the clearly feasible when the watch is on the wrist and always seems weird to me

A true man‘s descision! Deepest respect for that! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Zenith ❤🔥

What blows my mind with these two is the difference in thickness. The difference between making a commercial product with Tag, and making an excellent product with Zenith

I have both the submariner Starbucks and the Tudor BBgmt Opaline dial. The BB is a chunky monkey and doesn’t have glide lock tfit. I enjoy the dial on the BB and thinking about changing the strap

I bought the blue dial in 2023 for $6200. I found it top heavy, no micro adjustments poor lume crown hard to work with, and I changed the strap to a Artem sailcloth which made it lighter. I then got the call from AD for Rolex submariner Starbucks and that watch did not have any of those issues my Omega had.

I used a 1.4mm screw driver that came in my Stanley set, it was the smallest screw driver in the set. Also use a "low strength" threadlocker like Loctite 222MS (Purple), never medium or high strength as these 2 will cause issues removing screws.

More crap to buy. Consuming isn’t collecting.

What is your wrist size?

I'm glad I bought my 2 omega's years ago. I couldn't justify spending over 6k on one now

Agreed

Just got mine at mayors of Tampa. Was on waiting list forever but they finally called. Date version

What would be the coolest strap to swap with this watch?

Actually one shop refused change battery on this one saying that the problem is to get the waterproof seal back on as per the company standard. How true is it?

41mm is the way to go for men. The clasp is still pathetic.

Sir, have you noticed any issues with the power reserve?

If you do not mind wearing very thick watch then the Tudor is a great value at around $4.5K. It is 14.6mm thick. This is why I did not buy it as it felt too thick on my average wrist. The Rolex is just 12mm thick so it feels a little more comfortable on my wrist. My strong advice is to visit your AD and try the watch that you are interested in and then decide.

This video was exactly what I was looking for. TY

July 2,2024 - watching your video wearing my 18 month old green dial PRX . it is in my rotation with a couple R watches - it is a great piece , great price rate. ~ JDS/CT

I don’t own a Speedmaster which is beyond my means but I bought a Bulova Lunar Pilot for its Apollo 15 story. I enjoy looking at its caseback which states the mission details. I don’t use the stopwatch to time rocket burn but I do use it to time my soft boiled eggs. Precision matters…😊

Weird question, but what of brand of sweater is that in your wrist shot?

Blue Hydro conquest Longines Longines Why ? older Company more reliable cost less looks better. It’s the money. It’s the history too many fake Rolex’s

OMEGA is losing there way, with too many options. I believe, it would be better to simplify choices, have a clear path ,to established classics that are timeless,and concentrate on Quality Control.

I have the 43.5mm PO 600m with black ceramic dial and bezel, I love it. I wear it everyday and noticed I was putting some scratches in the bracelet and clasp so to preserve the bracelet I took the bracelet off and replaced it with an Omega black with orange trim rubber dive strap, the same strap as the black one in the video except with orange trim, I think it looks amazing, the black with orange trim compliments the black dial and bezel and the orange Seamaster logo on the dial as well as the orange tip of the seconds hand, the rubber strap also makes the watch a lot lighter feeling to wear.

Planet oceans are great watches. I was after the orange bezel insert version back in the day. I ended up buying the omega 300 automatic pierce Brosnan Golden eye watch. And never got round to getting the planet ocean. They are still available so you never know 😀👍.

I owned the first edition of the omega Aqua terra black dial 39mm automatic watch. These new versions are nice. But to me they seem to be more a dress watch. Tho older models were more brushed steel/ less shiny and more adaptable to wear on different occasions. I will have to see one in the AD to get a better idea.

great vid for a great range of watches.....absolutely love the omega loopless integrated rubber/leather strap system..... and like you prefer navy blue watches rather than the more funky special release colours! loving the new strap on your OG!

I tried the 38mm gloss black dial watch on at my local boutique over the weekend, and it's a very nice watch. Definitely on my shortlist. It's even better looking in person, the handset and applied logo look even better than in the photos..

I never should have sold my PO. I’ll get another one someday.

It takes standard coin cell batteries?! What the hell?!

I have the white dial SMP300 on the SS strap and the Blue PO Chrono on the blue leather strap with rubber lining, which I am not convinced is a waterproof strap. I’ve had conflicting answers from Omega dealers too, but seems to be ridiculous to put a non waterproof strap on a 600m diver watch 🤷‍♂️ Have a few Speedies too, including an Apollo 8, which was your ‘fault’ after a review of a friend’s watch, IIRC. Omega are getting into Rolex territory IMHO (availability, price & dealer games), so have not purchased any more!! I remember Omega saying everyone ordering a Snoopy would get one within a year, but I’m still waiting for mine and I ordered almost as soon as release 😂 Just purchased my first Christopher Ward, a C60 Atoll 300 in reef blue, on the blue aquaflex strap!!! It’s a very summery watch, which I am really enjoying currently, and the timekeeping is top notch (1sec/day)

Design is overdue, we need new design of this.

The black 43.5 is my go to watch. Put on a OEM all black rubber strap. Perfect for the great weather here in Hawaii.

I don’t know why they got rid of so many variations of the Seamaster 600m GMT! They need to bring back the 43mm GMT with more options again.

OG Planet Ocean was the best of all imho 42mm slimmer and better looking 🙌

Amazing thanks so much

The 2201.50 is the PO for me. Love it. I assume they’ll wait to release updated Seamasters when they slim their movements. They know to be even more competitive they need to do this.

I got the 8906 PO on strap, it woar to high , I called Omega and purchased the bracelet, so much better, the gloss dial gives it a blacker than black appearance , black n white bezel and white gold applied hour markers and hands, eye dazzling but a chunky monkey,

Love my 43.5 Blue. Yeah, it is big, but honetly thought the hour hand looked too stubby on the 39. Didn't think I could get through that once I thought it so went for the bigger size. Been eyeing up the rubber straps for a while now. Fantastic watch.

I checked out the gray model in a boutique. It's extremely nice, but not for me. I decided on the Planet Ocean Oreo. Love the black/white bezel. Amazing watch! I always look forward to wearing it.

Thanks for the reference number for the new blue strap. I have the PO with an orange bezel and white dial. I have to check if there is also a black version of the new strap. The Omega site isn't really helpful on this matter. I simply entered 3 as the last digit instead of 2 and it appears to be the reference number for the black strap. Also I agree with you: The PO ist an awesome summer watch!!

I just picked up the black dial PO last week, more awesome than expected. It joins my blue dial SMP from 2007 and my black dial Aqua Terra from two years ago.

I've got 3 POs, the 2018 olympic blue/red model, the black/orange 3d generation and the full fat orange/gray chrono. Honestly, I wear the chrono more than the other two. I think they're proper heritage model, advancing the design of the old seamaster 300 of the 1960s.

Too thick and PO bracelets are awful. Better off with an £1k SPB Seiko with an aftermarket bracelet/ Strap.

Would you ever consider a micro watch brand ? If so which one would you go for ?

Hi Andy, love the format of your videos!! I've been an Omega fanboy since the mid 90's and in fact still own the original Bond quartz Seamaster 300 Pro. I have a number of watches but I'm currently on the hunt for the grade 5 titanium Planet Ocean GMT. These are thick watches but you like what you like I guess!?!

Problem with the PO range is Omega absolutely nailed it with the original lineup in 2008 and it’s been downhill ever since. My 2201.50 bought in 2010 is still my favourite watch and a steal at £1,750
